Why is glass brittle

Glass doesn't contain planes of atoms that can slip past each other, so there is no way to relieve stress. It has many microscopic cracks that act as seeds for fracture. It’s molecular structure is composed of tetrahedral crystals so it ruptured easily under stress

Fractional distillation

Explanation:

The best way to separate the mixtures out is through the process of fractional distillation.

In fractional distillation, liquid - liquid mixtures are separated based on the differences in boiling point of their components. Let us examine the boiling points of the component of the mixtures:  

     Ethanol                  78⁰C

     Glycerol                290⁰C

     Ethylene glycol     197.6⁰C

     Methanol               64.7⁰C

     Water                     100⁰C

We see that the liquids in the mixture have different boiling points. In this process, the mixture is heated in a distillation column. When the boiling point of any component is reached, it will rise up in the column and can be channeled to a condenser where it is cooled and collected.

The liquid with the least boiling point is first separated with the one with the highest boiling is recovered last:

   Order of recovery;

               Methanol               64.7⁰C

               Ethanol                  78⁰C

                Water                    100⁰C

               Ethylene glycol     197.6⁰C

                Glycerol                290⁰C

g 10.00 mL of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) are titrated with 0.1000 M sodium hydroxide. 15.00 mL of the sodium hydroxide solution are
aliya0001 [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The molarity of phosphoric acid is 0.05 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

A neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water molecule.

At equivalence, moles of acid becomes equal to the moles of base. The equation for the neutralization follows:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2              ........(1)

where,

n_1, M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid that is H_3PO_4

n_2, M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the base that is NaOH

Given values:

n_1=3\\M_1=?M\\V_1=10.00mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.1000M\\V_2=15.00mL

Plugging values in equation 1:

3\times M_1\times 10.00=1\times 0.1000\times 15.00\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.1000\times 15.00}{3\times 10.00}\\\\M_1=0.05M

Hence, the molarity of phosphoric acid is 0.05 M

He shell of a chicken’s egg makes up 5% of the mass of an average egg. An average egg has a
blagie [28]
First of all, you have to write a balance equation for the reaction. The balanced equation for the reaction is:
CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH = [CH3COO]2Ca +CO2 + H20
Next, find the mass of the shell.
For an average egg, the mass is 0.05 * 50 = 2.5 g. 
To convert this mass to moles, we have: 2.5/100 = 0.025 Moles. This is the mole of calcium carbonate.
To calculate the mole of ethanolic acid, we have: 50 * 0.001 * 2 = 0.1. This value is for 2 molecules, therefore for one molecule, we have: 0.1/2 = 0.05. 
From the equation of reaction, one mole of calcium carbonate is required to neutralize two moles of ethanolic acid.
Thus, 0.05/0.025 = 2. This imply that two complete egg shells will be needed to neutralize 50cm of ethanolic acid.

Albert Einstein's work focused on relativity theory and the as it could be applied to gravity, quantum mechanics and the theory of light.

<h3>Who is Albert Einstein?</h3>

The physicist Albert Einstein was born in Ulm Württemberg Germany in 1875. He migrated to the United States at the height of the Nazi regime in Germany where he became a professor of physics at Princeton University.

His work focused on the relativity theory and the as it could be applied to gravity, quantum mechanics and the theory of light. These ideas still remain fundamental in science today.

I became interested in the work of Albert Einstein because of the fact that is work is fundamental to the understanding of quantum mechanics and the idea of gravity. He laid the foundation upon which modern physics is built.
